I went to have dinner with my boyfriend at Mestizo last week and had a really amazing time. We decided to start with some margaritas, the waitress suggested trying something different from the lime ones so we went for a tamarind and watermelon. They were delicious!! Since we wanted to try a little bit of lots of stuff, we decided that the best way to go was the taco tray. We went for the carnitas, chicken tinga, pabellon and cochinita. It was so good and fun to eat! I am Mexican but my boyfriend is British so it was very funny to watch him prepare his own tacos :) In general, I would totally recommend this place as the staff is very friendly and the food very authentic. I´m so glad to finally have found a true Mexican place in London. We’re definitely going back!

I've eaten at Mestizo a number of times and whilst the food is good, the same cannot be said for the service. The waiters and waitresses are the most surly bunch of people I've had the misfortune to encounter. I did once complain to the manager- a blonde woman- and she was equally horrid.

Best to go for the lunchtime burrito menu and have it as take out.

The most authentic mexican restaurant in london I have been, no other like this. The same mexican dishes I ate when I when to mexico last year, and the large variety of tequilas make it more than unique! Congratulations for mexico in london.

We were there just over a week ago and had such a bad time I'm determined not to go back. Our waitress was just awful. She messed up our order and when we told her she'd brought the wrong dish, she started arguing with us about it and went on arguing and saying we had ordered wrongly. Eventually it got sorted out and she brought the right food and then when we said thank you, she started arguing with us again! I mean who argues when someone says thank you?! Unbelievable! It ruined our meal really. I sent an email to Mestizo the next day, but over a week has gone by now and they haven't responded. I'm just really disappointed as we've had no problem there before and the food is great but I'm damned if I'm going to pay good money to be spoken to like that again.

Although the food was lovely, the service here is extremely poor. The waitresses purposely avoided making eye contact so we were unable to order more drinks, their English was poor so we had to repeat our orders several times, and they missed out one dish (although to be fair at least they didn’t then try and charge for it!).

As a result we didn’t pay the full 12.5% ‘discretionary’ service charge, which lead to an ugly confrontation on the street outside. Needless to say we will not be going back, which is a shame as the food was actually very nice.

I think you had the same waitress as us! We won't be going back either, pity as previous experiences were much better.

Great taste, fantastic variety! never expect to get most of the dishes from so many different mexican regions in one place "Mestizo" not to mention that you will be welcome with a smile from a 100% latin staff. My suggestion for those who are planning to visit Mestizo: ask for the "molcajete" you will love it! Congratulations and see you soon again!
